Posted on: December 29th, 2017

Did someone say football? It’s on everyone’s mind this time of the year. When it comes to watching the Super Bowl, 9 out of 10 watchers are going to be at a home. (Either their own house or someone else’s.) That’s a lot of Super Bowl parties. The prep for these parties can sometime be overwhelming. Let us help this year.

Pantone’s Color of the Year: Ultra Violet

Posted on: December 28th, 2017

Pantone has officially announced that the color of the year is Ultra Violet and we think it’s going to be a huge hit!

We’re no strange to this dramatic color. We’ve seen clients bring in this shade of purple by using it for their tablecloths and table runner. We’ve also seen clients use this shade of purple in their centerpieces and bouquets!

Wedding At Springfield Museums

Posted on: December 27th, 2017

That’s right; we had the opportunity to work on two different stylized shoots at the Springfield Museum. For this shoot, we teamed up with Sandra Costello Photography. Between Sandra and our event coordinator they designed a mock wedding. The fake ceremony and reception took place in the Blake Court of the D’Amour Fine Arts Museum which had beautiful hard wood floors, high ceilings and elegant paintings on the walls. To match the theme in the room, we went with a renaissance theme.

We started off with a neutral champagne linen to blend with the current colors in the room. From there we added a bold copper napkin and gold chiavari chairs to add some color. However the real pop of color came from Durocher Florist. They created beautiful floral arrangements for the tables. We opted for heavy greenery loaded with blush and cream flowers. CJC Event Lighting put spot lights on the centerpieces and up light the walls with a blush tone.

You can also cook individual pieces of cake in each jar for your guests!

The many uses of a 3 oz Shot Glass

Posted on: December 21st, 2017

When people here the words “shot glass” they automatically assume that it will be filled with some kind of liquor. However we like to be creative. Instead of doing a basic champagne toast at your wedding, toast with shot glasses of champagne! Add a raspberry for an elegant look!

Don’t like champagne? Use our shot glasses for food! Here are some of our favorite uses for our shot glasses! Everyone loves breakfast. Put some maple syrup at the bottom of a shot glass and serve French toast sticks!

Looking for a healthier options? Put a dollop of your favorite dressing at the bottom of a shot glass and full with your favorite vegetables.

Expecting company over for the football game? Impress your guests with a personal size 7 layer dip.

Need a more substantial appetizer? Serve panko encrusted shrimp with dressing. You can also substitute the shrimp for crispy chicken tenders.

Cant decide on a flavor cake? Have them all!

Boylston Room Wedding

Posted on: December 18th, 2017

Have you attended an event at the Boylston Room in Easthampton yet? If not, you’re missing out; it’s absolutely stunning!

The Boylston Room has 2 different indoor event spaces and an outdoor patio. The smaller of the 2 rooms was the perfect backdrop for a photo shoot put on by the Fox and Lantern. She used our mahogany chiavari chairs for the ceremony. The large mill windows let natural light brighten up the space!

The Fox and Lantern created a mock cocktail hour out on the patio. We supplied cocktail tables, chiavari bar stools and our plank bar to create a quaint cocktail reception. The plum linens matched the brick of the old mill building beautifully.

Too continue with the berry theme, the Fox and Lantern filled up our 1 liter glass carafes with juices.

The Boylston Room’s second space is larger and was the foundation of the reception part of this stylized photo shoot. Here the Fox and Lantern staggered our tuscan tables for guests seating and used our farm table and bench for the head table.

Union Station Gala

Posted on: December 16th, 2017

We’ve done a handful of events at Union Station since their grand opening but the grand opening gala will always be our favorite event hosted there!

The event started with a cocktail hour under a frame tent that we installed in the bus terminals. From there, guests walked a red carpet through our ropes and stanchions into the newly renovated station.

The goal of the remodel of Union Station was to keep it as original as possible. The concourse is breath taking with it’s high ceilings and arched walk ways. The flooring seen in the photo above is all original!

We brought in 60-72″ round tables and 600 gold chiavari chairs for seating for the guests. We draped all of the tables in gold nova swirl linens for an elegant look that paired well with the gold chairs and stunning greenery centerpieces.

JX2 Productions hung black fabric swags in each archway and did an amazing job lighting up the concourse for this event!

To prevent an echo off the marble floors, we installed carpeting padding as well as black carpet on all areas of the concourse with the exception of a 20’x40′ space for dancing.

We supplied all of the glassware, china and utensils for this event as well. The Springfield Sheraton did a wonderful job catering! Big thanks to all of the vendors who came together to make this gala a huge success!
